Broker's Comments

Mr A Primrose never designed a duff yacht, or if he did, no-one showed it to me! Well thought out, strongly built, sea-kindly and secure yachts like the Truman 30 mark out what was perhaps the heyday of British yacht building. Built today they would be eye-wateringly expensive compared to the foreign built offerings designed for a Mediterranean charter market or South German lakes. However, time marches on and yachts such as this are now showing their age, like many of us! A little TLC here and there wouldn't go amiss but if you can afford to own a thirty foot yacht, such work/expenditure that this entails comes under the heading annual maintenance. This is a solid well built yacht and deserves a kind and conscientious owner.
